Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

And yet law enforcement stated he did and told the media this. It begs the question, how trustworthy are these guys under Kash?

I don't trust corporations OR law enforcement officers.

They both have interest in their own stories being true, both for PR purposes.

The war thunder forums have been suspiciously silent on the matter, however.

Doesn't matter who's in charge, LEOs are never to be trusted period

Discord can suck it but also: I smell a patsy.

So we either have to trust a Trump appointee or a social media company, and TMZ is going to help us decide which?

This is the real world we are in right now.

I think this has been the hardest hitting comment on the public execution I've read yet. Fuck.

Once Patel was installed the FBI instantly lost any credibility it may have once had

They are just making the excuse for doge to take over discord info and servers and profile all users.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's like that riddle puzzle thing with 2 guys. And one on the left says "one of us always lies and one of us always tells the truth". And then that one says "discord" and the right one says. "That guy always lies and also "no discord" and the left guy says "the guy on my right always lies".

And we have to figure out who lies and what the answer is.

Like the doors from the labyrinth.

Are these the same law enforcement officers who claimed the shooter had engraved 'trans iconography and antifacist symbols' on the bullets only for it to turn out it was just the manufacturer mark?

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yup. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms everybody!

Well, I know one thing…
